My publisher, Packt, has provided me with a giveaway for 360|Flex. I’ll collect business cards during my session and will draw one name for the givaway. The winner will receive a print copy of my new Adobe Edge Quickstart Guide!
I’ll be talking all about using BlazeDS with Flex and Java! We’ll see why AMF is so useful whether being used in ColdFusion or Java get an overview of how to use these technologies together to create great applications.
Flex developers have it easy when using ColdFusion to transfer data over the Action Message Format (AMF) transfer protocol because these services are built into the core ColdFusion server. What if you aren’t using ColdFusion though? Can you get the same benefits of AMF when using Java? Yes – by employing the open source Adobe BlazeDS project!
This talk will include an overview of these technologies, how to configure them to work together, and provide examples of data transfer across systems through a variety of ActionScript/Flex code examples. Additionally we’ll examine a use-case for BlazeDS, Java Spring, and Flex in higher-education to aid in the gathering of a variety of media types to perform assessment activities across departments through a unique system of binary and textual submissions by responder groups within certain participating programs.
So that’s my session, but there are a ton of other great speakers and topics being presented. A bunch of people from Adobe, Appcelerator, and Sencha are going to be there too. Nightly parties and extended training sessions on Sunday. All good stuff!
Check out the schedule!
Have a chance to chat with all the great speakers, sponsors, and attendees!

Agenda
It’s the first half of 2011 and Adobe’s Open Screen Project initiative has started to really gather some momentum. From a vision of grandeur to the assimilation of a number of different devices and form factors, the Open Screen Project is well on it’s way to becoming a fully realized reality. From Windows, Mac, Linux, to Android, QNX, iOS, and WebOS Adobe has significantly increased the audience consuming ActionScript-based applications on devices from Desktop, web, tablet, mobile, and TV. Come hear how this initiative looks from the eyes of your peers, fellow ActionScript and Flex developers. Gain some insight on how to ride this multi-screen wave of the future.
D2W Conference 2011
D2W is the designer/developer/workflow conference held in Kansas City, MO. This year, it is taking place at the Crowne Plaza hotel on Friday July 15th and Saturday the 16th, following a preconferece workshop day.
What attracted me to this event was its unique focus on workflow across design and development areas. I am not aware of any other conference that claims such a focus, and considering workflow is something we designers and developers deal with every day (whether we realize it or not), happens to be an excellent opportunity to really concentrate on the issues involved in this work. Bringing both designers and developers (and hybrids!) together to talk about workflow is such a compelling idea!
Speaking of which; have you had a look at the speakers page at all? There is a real stand-out group of people speaking at this event – quite a variety too! Session topics involve technologies such as Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, CSS, a variety of design tools, IDEs… and all of this across desktop and mobile. In fact, along with the design and develop tracks from last year, Dee has added a specific mobile track to the event. Check out the session lineup for particulars.
I’ll be presenting a session called Adapting Expectations to Fit a Mobile Workflow at 10:55 on day one as part of the mobile track. I’m scheduled at the same time as Michelle Yaiser and David Ortinau… would have liked to hear either of them speak! Ah, well…
Sounds like a great conference, right? Ping me on Twitter for a discount code!
Here is my current lineup. It will change, of course!
Day 1 – July 15
Day 2 – July 16
